Mr David Brooks: Assembly records
All of Mr David Brooks’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail whether single males leaving Mears accommodation who have been successfully granted permission to stay in the UK by the Home Office are classed as being in priority need by the Housing Executive.
I welcome Mr Burrows to his seat and to share in his good wishes to Colin Crawford. All of us who sat on Committee with him recognise the tribute that Mr Burrows paid to Colin, and I stand with him on that. Today's topic of discussion is familiar to us all in the Chamber, and I have said that before. All of us — I…
I was just pointing out that I literally prefaced my remarks by saying that I acknowledged the excellent work that classroom assistants do. You are misrepresenting what I said. That is clearly not what I said.
This is a genuine question. Does the Member have any evidence that one-to-one support is the best route? I respect the jobs that all of those workers do, but, surely, when it comes to education policy, we all want to be informed by what is the best route for our children, rather than other concerns. If there is…
I thank the Minister for her answer and her work in that area. There has scarcely been a more important time to engage with the president of the United States. The deputy First Minister had to step up on St Patrick's Day this year when the First Minister decided not to show leadership. What are the plans in that…
I beg to move Many of us will have engaged in good faith with Lord Murphy's review when he visited this place in the previous term. I met him in my role as the Deputy Chair of the Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee and, later that day, as part of a delegation from my party. I feel that, even then, there…
To ask the Minister of Justice whether she will work with the Northern Ireland Prison Service to introduce stronger safeguards against serial absconding from prison, including through day release.
To ask the Minister of Health, in light of the recent decision to dispose of the unoccupied clinic at 331 Cregagh Road, Belfast, whether any consideration has been given to a community asset transfer.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the repair works to the retaining wall at Upper Newtownards Road, Dundonald, which have been causing a partial lane closure since June 2025.
Moving Beyond the Windsor Framework That this Assembly opposes the continued operation of the Windsor Framework, including the application of EU law in Northern Ireland and the Irish Sea border which it creates; stresses that the present arrangements do not command cross-community support; expresses alarm that a…
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to outline the opportunities available for Northern Ireland from the upcoming state visit by President Trump.
I just wanted to make it clear. The Member for West Belfast made the accusation that the Minister had not given appropriate time to the issue that he was about to cover. I said that the Minister, with good grace, had agreed to give an update, on top of the issue that he is here to deal with, on issues relating to…
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I ask you to clarify that the allocation of time in the House to deal with any issue is a matter for the Business Committee and, in some cases, is at the discretion of the Speaker. Therefore, it is with good grace that the Minister has come today to give us an update not only…
I thank all the Members who have made contributions to the debate so far. While my party has taken a slightly more nuanced position on the issue, there is much that has been said across the Chamber that many of us share. The passions are clear, and I hope that we all recognise that we ultimately share the same goal:…
The Minister will have, like me, welcomed the clarity from the Supreme Court around the definition of a woman being based on biological sex. Will he confirm that any strategy that he brings forward will respect that ruling?
Does the Member agree that, earlier in the debate, we were asked to turn our faces to what is happening in Gaza, but many would like us to turn our faces away from the legacy of the party opposite.
I, too, agree with much of what the Member has said, but does he have a single word of condemnation for Hamas, Iran and those who have brought the Middle East to this place? Will he consider the motion that he is about to support and whether that is truly turning his face to the fullness and nuances of the situation?
